"Last year, security firm Kaspersky acknowledged what it
said was a "bitter fact" - "unless precautions are taken,
victims may not be able to recover their data in any
other way than by paying the demanded ransom."

SO this was originally a blog about being scammed by a fake airplane ticket seller (January,2012), but recently i got ROBBED AGAIN ! On July 13, 2013 while I was at a dodgers baseball game somebody smashed my front passenger side window (probably with a hammer since I didn't find a rock or anything) and stole my old laptop...;& NOW on August 21, 2015 I was assaulted, robbed, & vandalized at a 7-eleven store !
